Design guys are paid to sell their vision of style to clients. And it all begins with the clothing on their back. Whether formal or familiar, architects tend to opt for an academic approach to attire. It’s probably all of those years spent in school that adds up to a fine-tuned focus on structure and silhouette. Interior designers have a more fluid flair. They take risks but understand that some things — like socks with sandals or a tie with a cartoon character on it — are just never aesthetically acceptable.
